Sobremesa Brûlée
Sobremesa Brûlée is Dunbarton’s Connecticut‑shade take on the Sobremesa liga: an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper over a Mexican Matacapan binder and Nicaraguan fillers, introduced in 2019 and noted for cream, cedar, caramel/mocha and developing nutty sweetness.

Brûlée is a deliberately softer Sobremesa—Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade capa and a Mexican Matacapan binder over a selected Nicaraguan filler column to dial back aggressive ligero bite in favor of cream, caramel and mocha motifs. Strength trends mild to medium; the cigar leans on a creamy, nutty entry that moves through cedar and café/mocha into a gentle, developing sweetness. Construction reflects Dunbarton’s attention to consistency, and the line has been expanded with limited runs (Brûlée Blue, a pressed Wagashi variant) that explore the edges of the concept without changing the core identity.
